Bootleg (Kenshi Yonezu album)

August 30, 2017 is the ten year anniversary of Hatsune Miku, while Magical Mirai is the large Vocaloid concert held by Crypton Future Media. Crypton Future Media invited Yonezu to write "Dune" as the birthday song for Miku, and the theme song for Magical Mirai 2017. Miku's version is included in "Hatsune Miku "Magical Mirai 2017" OFFICIAL ALBUM ", which peaked No.13 in Oricon. While Yonezu self-covers the song in "Bootleg". The song reviews the history of Vocaloid with references to previous songs in the lyrics and metaphorizes the desertion of the Vocaloid community as a sand planet, soonly became viral in Vocaloid fandom. Besides, Crypton Future Media also invited some notable Vocaloid producers, such as Wowaka and N-buna, to write song and collected as birthday celebrating album "Re:Start" which peaked No.6 on Oricon. Yonezu considered titling the album Dune, as he was confident that he could make beautiful music, and want to prove it to people. He changed the album's name titled, Bootleg. ==Singles==
